●「OFF 」Mode
When cam in OFF mode, you can do the following:
• replacing the SD card or batteries
• connecting cam with other device by USB port
It will occur a little of power consumption under OFF mode. If you won't use it for a long time, please take batteries off.
●「ON」Mode
Once in ON mode no manual controls are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect). The cam will take photos or videos
automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is triggered by the PIR sensor′s detection of activity in the area it covers.

Selects the length of time that the camera will “wait”until
it responds to any additional triggers from the PIR after an
animal is first detected and remains within the sensor's range.
During this user set“ignore triggers”interval, the camera
will not capture photos/videos.This prevents the card from

Mounting
We recommend mounting cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. (15cm). To get the optimal picture quality,
the tree should be about 16-17 ft(5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of
5-6.5 ft. (1.5~2 m). Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash
range, no farther than 60' (19m) and no closer than 10'(3m) from the camera.
There are two ways to mount cam: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket.
•Using the adjustable web belt: Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of cam. Thread the end of
the strap through the buckle. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by pulling the end of the strap firmly so there
is no slack left.
•Using the tripod socket:The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end.
Sensing Angle and Distance Test
To test whether cam can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle
and monitoring distance of cam. To perform the test:
•Switch cam to SETUP mode.
• Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect game or subjects to be.
Try different distances and angles from camera.
• If emotion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed.
The results of your testing will help you find the best place where mounting and aiming the cam. The height from the
ground for placing the device should vary with animal size appropriately. In general,3 to 6 feet is preferred. You can avoid
potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat
source or nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days).
